Right, ready for plenty of good vibes?

Friday's match vs. Los Garza duo Angel and Humberto was a solid one for Baron Corbin and Apollo Crews. Last week, both looked one-dimensional and weak during a backstage skit, so it was lovely to see the new team improve on that in Germany. Credit to the Legado del Fantasma boys for bumping around like champs too.

Corbin and Crews were fired up before the numbers game from Legado changed the scene in their favour and they took the win. Honestly, this fan has zero issues with that. Telling the story of Baron and Apollo learning from defeat as a team is the right way to go (provided they do learn from it, of course).

It's also cool to see Angel and Humberto score a victory, because they're a tidy team who have deserved better for a long, long time. Santos Escobar and Elektra helping them out showed solidarity for the faction, which they sorely needed. Nothing to complain about here, folks!
